Last night Chance🍀 hit something we didn't expect this soon.

For the first time we couldn't process every request because of a huge traffic spike in a giveaway last minutes. Some toss requests kept failing in the final 10 minutes before the giveaway ended, so we extended the deadline by 2 hours to ease the load and to give everyone a fair shot at the main prize, and at the rank they were competing for in the guaranteed prizes.

Honestly, I'm grateful for all the love and effort our users put into the app. This has been a long journey for me and my team. We learned a lot, and through tough times and market crashes we never stopped thinking about Chance🍀 and we kept building.

There's more coming: clearer events, more activities, more of what you've been asking for.

Thank you all for your trust and your love. 🍀

Appearently it's fixed and transfered to rightful owners. Nice to seeing that.

There's a strange story making noise in the Telegram gifts community right now.

Quick context on how it works: you buy a gift from a brand new collection (a non-unique gift), and after a while — once Telegram's design team finishes it — they let you convert it into an NFT for a certain amount of Stars. That's the "craft" step: it gets a unique number and later becomes mintable too. And it's not cheap — in recent collections, the very first craft for number 1 has gone as high as 1 million Stars.

Now users have noticed that certain rare, specific numbers — like DurovsGlasses-2222 — simply won't craft, no matter how many times you try.

The strange part: 2221 and 2223 craft just fine and stay fully visible inside Telegram afterward, but 2222 neither crafts nor even shows up. Without ever being crafted, it seems to have been skipped by the system entirely and then minted manually by a insider employee.

It gets more curious — some of these exact special numbers are held by recurring owners who appear to be Telegram staff themselves. No surprise the community is pushing back.

Let's assume there was no intent at all. Even then, this could be a systemic bug that an attacker exploited. But that assumption doesn't reduce Telegram's responsibility one bit — what's in question here is the fairness of gift distribution, and identifying it, fixing it, and maybe even disclosing it publicly is entirely Telegram's job.

And this sits in direct contradiction with the exact image Telegram keeps advertising: a secure, transparent messenger. The result is clear — what little trust the community had left is getting chipped away every day, and the situation keeps getting more disheartening.

It is genuinely disappointing to see one of the few remaining active projects in the Telegram and TON GRAM ecosystem speak with this level of frustration and sarcasm.

For context, Tonnel once controlled most of the Telegram Gifts trading market. Over time, competitors attracted a large share of that volume by introducing 0% trading fees and more speculative, gambling-like mechanics around gift trading.

Now, Tonnel founder Mr. Freeman is sarcastically asking:

So what will happen if I set the commission to 0%? 😄
Will they block the @giftrelayer?

The implication is difficult to ignore: if Tonnel tries to compete more aggressively by reducing its commission to zero, the project fears that Telegram may block the infrastructure it relies on and effectively remove it from the market.

Whether or not that would actually happen, it is sad that a long-standing TON project feels that normal competition may put its survival at risk.

A healthy ecosystem should reward better products, lower fees, innovation, and fair competition not make builders feel that competing could get them eliminated.

The number was 37.

The winner is @Mgh1947. 358 stars accumulated; the top 5 chancers get 72 ⭐️ each. Winners, message me to get your prize.

If you guess 10, add 10 stars to this post, thats it.

number between 1 to 100. closest guess will win 500 stars.

the accumulated stars will be shared with top 5 chancers of that prize.

Just posted the pic into the channel

Unfortunately hidden paid content not work here, I don’t know why. so I will create a private channel and post the picture of number there and share link tomorrow.

Number between 1 to 100. Star this post your guess.

I’ll give 500 Telegram Stars to the first person whose guess is closest to the number.
The number is between 1 and 100.

How winners are decided:

The closest guess wins.
If two guesses are equally close, the earlier guess wins.
Example: if the hidden number is 24, both 20 and 28 are 4 numbers away, so the one posted first wins.

Extra giveaway:
All Stars collected from unlocking this post will also be distributed to the top 5 chancers of this prize.

I’ll personally add 250 Stars, to the pool for top chancers I want to award for that giveaway.

⏳ Ends in 24 hours, starting now.

If you give me a good idea, I will distribute it using that method; otherwise, I will not claim it until a new winner is randomly selected by the system again.

I got lucky again 😆. I can claim it and give it away in a non-official giveaway, or just not claim it until a new winner is selected.
😊

⚽ Brazil 1–2 Norway

🎉 Your bet on Norway won — you earned 4930.00 $CHANCE. Your 1000.00 $CHANCE bet on Brazil lost.

Unbelievable! 🚬

Two things Telegram shipped recently are worth noting: rich text formatting for messages inside Telegram and easier authentication for web apps. Small additions on paper, but the kind of quiet platform upgrades that make building on Telegram feel more serious.

As a team that's been building inside the Telegram ecosystem for over two years, we notice these things. The past two months went into speed: page transitions, image loading, the splash screen on open. A lot of small things rebuilt at once. If you haven't opened Chance🍀 in a while, it's a different experience.

But the bigger news is separate from Telegram entirely.

app.chance.tg is now live as a full PWA. A standalone web app that works completely outside of Telegram, for anyone who doesn't use the platform or simply prefers a browser. Same game, same $CHANCE, no Telegram required. This is something we committed to at the start of 2026. It's done.

The World Cup 🏆 is inside both. Pick a match outcome, stake $CHANCE, collect after the final whistle. Group stage is running now. Knockouts start July 4.

And one more thing. A sponsor, reached out and sponsored a Telegram NFT as a prize inside Chance🍀: t.me/nft/ViceCream-135056

For a long time, every prize in Chance🍀 was funded by us. This is the first one that wasn't. That matters more than it might look. It means people and projects are starting to notice what we've built. We're genuinely glad.

Chance🍀 is no longer just a mini-app. 🍀

St. Patrick’s Day fits Chance🍀 in a very natural way.

The clover has always been part of Chance’s identity
and
a symbol of luck, momentum, and the rare moment when things go your way.

This time, we wanted to turn that symbol into something bigger 👇

With Lucky Teddy’s 🎁 support by Telegram, we’re launching one of the biggest Chance🍀 giveaways so far.

The main prize is a Top Hat NFT.
And alongside that, the top 25 chancers will each receive a Lucky Teddy 🎁 gift.

So this is not just a themed post for the day.
It is a real St. Patrick’s Day event built around the same idea the clover represents:
luck rewarded through participation.

In simple terms:

🍀 Clover is the symbol
🎁 Lucky Teddy is supporting the event
🎩 A Top Hat NFT is the headline prize
🏆 Top 25 chancers get rewarded

And there is one more thing.

Before this giveaway ends, we’ll also introduce some stunning new features for Chance that we’ve been developing throughout this year.

A lot has been cooking behind the scenes.
Stay tuned.

St. Patrick’s Day is about luck.
Chance🍀 is about turning that feeling into a game.

This one is for the chancers who keep showing up.

The Telemetrio 2025 report includes some interesting numbers.

On one hand, the number of wallets connected to bot and mini-app revenues has grown almost 10× compared to 2024 —
from 274 wallets to around 2,500 wallets.

But the more interesting part is this 👇

In October 2024, these wallets generated about 2.5 million TON in revenue.
By October 2025, that number increased to 5 million TON.

At first glance, this looks like strong growth.
But once you factor in the price of TON, the picture changes.

During the same period, TON’s price dropped from around $5 to $2.

So in USD terms, there was no real growth —
in fact, it was effectively negative growth.

In simple terms:
even though the number of wallets and participants increased significantly,
the actual economic impact didn’t improve.

More developers and businesses entered the game,
but the total value created stayed flat — or even declined.

The numbers grew.
The real money didn’t.

For months now, we’ve been dealing with weak liquidity in the market.
Money flow has slowed down, investors have become more cautious, long-term investments are being avoided, and most capital is chasing short-term returns instead.

Despite all that, prices were kept elevated for a while —
not because the market fundamentals supported them, but because the adjustment was delayed.

Now it looks like market makers have finally accepted that these prices no longer make sense
and that the market needs a proper correction.

Price drops aren’t necessarily a disaster, and they’re not surprising either.
They feel more like something that was overdue.

While we were developing Chance🍀, we faced a major issue that forced us to shut down and rethink everything for over three months.
Many of our early users thought we were gone — but we weren’t. We were working hard on how to fix the problem.

Our original idea was simple:
Toss your $CHANCE on a prize, and you might win it.
But there was a big question —
if users keep tossing their coins and don’t win, why should they keep playing at all? 🤔

We never wanted Chance🍀 to feel like another gambling platform.
We wanted people to love using it, to make it different, and to reward the most active and loyal users the way they truly deserve.

That’s why we built Cashback! 🍀

The idea is simple:
If you toss a large amount of $CHANCE on a prize, or invite more friends,
you’ll receive cashback when the giveaway ends!
This cycle keeps repeating — so the most dedicated users end up holding the most $CHANCE tokens over time.

Honestly, our first feedback from the community came from hard-working users asking why they didn’t win while someone with fewer tosses did.
And we get it — but our goal has always been to make everyone have a fair chance to win, not just the top players.
Now, with Cashback, we can finally reward the effort, not just the luck. 🙌

It’s been more than a year since we became one of the finalists in The Open League Hackathon.
Many teams cashed out — but we kept building.
We learned. We improved.
And now, we’re doing it again — even better. 🚀
